I AM SO SAD RIGHT NOW.
Not only are ALL of my original videos (minus some of the Ariel footage) for college are gone- but so are all of my original memories from 2012. Basically anything that's on my blog/facebook/vimeo I've still got- but I had stacks of stuff lined up waiting to be edited and blogged about.

I don't know how my assessment is going to go now. I mean- what am I supposed to put in my 'sketchbook' pdf now? At least I had my final version of Tie and Dye with Kim. But all of the sam and jack footage is gone bar one 4min clip.

Besides loosing everything- I'm completely bummed out because even when I go out of my way to produce work- like, tire my self out and actually do more than my body will allow- I get slapped in the face by things I can't control (or could prevent if I wasn't so ill). And it's not like me to just not have another copy, I was busy swapping over my files from smaller harddrives to a much bigger one. And then I was going to make a second copy- but I never got that far.

I haven't slept in a day and half so I better go do that.

Hopefully I'll have enough to show and feel more like it's a fresh new start (instead of a sinking hole of sadness and lost memories).

POPS!
Platoon of Power Squadron! Awesome youtube series. This is how it's done, people! In this little update of behind the scenes- he talks about getting organised to film another episode. Way to be a really great producer, dude!!! Almost makes me want to do this channel thing all over again. Almost.

Watch the show here: http://www.youtube.com/user/pineappleboyfilms?feature=watch

This is something I've been wanting to do for a while now- I used to take lots of stopframe photos of my life, with the intention of compiling them into a video format- a sort of moving image of my life at that time. But it never got done. With my new camera, it's a whole lot easier to record moments in this way, and I found myself taking more video than photographs! Which is quite exciting really. [: I'm calling this a 'Home Movie' because- in way, I guess, it is. It's got a very sentimental quality to it. Sort of half documentary, half home video. You'll also see clips of vlogs in here that I've tried making. haha. Enjoy:

** This is in HD- so that means to see it's full beauty you want to FULL SCREEN this bad boy (and make sure the little 'HD' button is in blue- bottom right)**

and some screen grabs:All footage taken in the month of March 2012. Kimxo

To help motivate me to incorporate Vlogging into my blogging schedule- I e-mailed a blogger friend, who also vlogs, and we are doing a little back-and-forth question answering/asking! That's her blog- Love,Elycia. Go there to see her response! and here is my first video:

Great for loosening up and I got a real chance to practice with artificial light & setting up a nice clean background shot.
Also the more I edit HD, the more comfortable I get!!!
Filmed and edited in one evening.

Keek is like twitter, but for 36 second video updates. I'm kind of new to it- and mostly use it like twitter, for my blog followers and online friends. I keep it casual and silly. I sort of started using it as a challenge to myself to get used to being in front of the camera.

The keek in which I mention editing videos and having trouble compressing HD.
The keek in which I mention doing some dying. I had a friend come round and help me film some of the process shots. You can see my hair and wardrobe is ready for filming.
